Chapter 924

"Speed up the March and arrive in Duliang County before sunset today!" On the back of the taxi, yelled the soldier.

On the official road, several rows of Jingzhou soldiers marched on the road. It was the Wuling soldiers under Liu Pan's command.

Since the formulation of a new strategy, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong have no scruples, leading more than ten thousand Wuling troops to the south, directly from Wuling county to Lingling county. They are fierce, and point to Duliang County in the west of Lingling county.

In fact, it is impossible to be so blatant in marching and fighting in peacetime. Generally, they will be cautious and even take the initiative to cover up the news by taking the initiative to reduce the enemy's attention and attack the city as soon as possible before the enemy reinforcements arrive.

However, today is not the same as before. Liu Pan and Gao chongbing divided into two ways, killing Sun Quan from Lingling and Changsha respectively. Jiangdong army is in short supply. What should we be afraid of?

"The Sentry will go to Duliang county to inquire. Go back quickly!" Liu Pan ordered again.

Seeing Liu Pan's high spirited appearance, Huang Zhong couldn't help but remind him: "public power, it's better to be careful. It's said that Zhou Gongjin has come back to control the military power. This man's ability of unifying troops is very important."

After listening to Huang Zhong's words, Liu Pan said with a smile: "it's all right, brother Hansheng. Even if Zhou Yu is still alive and sun wufusheng is still alive, now that our two armies are advancing together, what can he do?"

Huang Zhong wanted to persuade him again. Suddenly, a sentry came back riding a horse and said to Liu Pan in a loud voice: "general! In the direction of Duliang County, we found that the Jiangdong army was on fire and rushed to the county seat with about 10000 troops! "

"Oh?"

Liu Pan was excited: "what flag is the enemy fighting?"

"Zhou flag."

"Hum, it seems that Zhou Yu has come in person. This time I want to see what he can do." Liu Pan sneered.

Huang Zhong stepped forward for fear that Liu Pan would underestimate the enemy. Therefore, he said, "public power, I'd better lead the vanguard troops to kill Duliang county and fight with Zhou Yu."

Liu Pan pondered for a while and said, "well, brother Hansheng is a veteran general. He will surely be able to compete with Zhou Yu. I will send 5000 troops to brother Hansheng."

"Here it is

After that, Huang Zhong divided five thousand troops and led the five thousand people to speed up all the way to Duliang County, just in time to run into another sentry post.

"Stop!"

Huang Zhong stopped riding, reined in his horse and asked, "how far is Zhou Yujun away? Has Zhou Yujun been stationed in the capital city of Liang?"

"General Huang, not only did Zhou Yu not lead his troops into the city, but also opened the city of Duliang and took away the soldiers, horses, grain and grass. Now the gate of the city is wide open. I don't know what to do, so I hurry back to report to the old general." The sentry returned.

"Ah?" Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard the speech, and then he looked strange. What was Zhou Yu's idea...

"no matter what, let's go at full speed. Let's go to the city of Duliang first. Hurry up

With a wave of his hand, Huang Zhong led the 5000 Wuling army to speed up and run toward Duliang city.

Five thousand vanguard troops arrived at the bottom of Duliang city without stopping. Huang Zhong took a close look and saw that the gate of Duliang city was indeed opened, and there was not even a soldier on the top of the city. It seemed that it was completely empty.

"Well?" Huang Zhong looks puzzled.

The soldier on one side suggested: "old general, this may be the enemy's plan to lure the enemy. Maybe the enemy has already set an ambush in the city. As soon as we enter, the enemy will attack our army immediately. How about waiting until Liu Lang will lead the follow-up reinforcements to arrive and make a decision?"

Huang Zhong immediately sniffed: "our army 5000 vanguard here, by the enemy an empty city scared dare not move?"

"I will personally select two thousand sharp soldiers to enter the city and set up an array outside the city. If there is an enemy coming, we should guard against it and send people to ask general Liu for help. Do you know that?"

After Huang Zhong gave an account, he then led two thousand sharp soldiers into the empty city.

Jingzhou, as a large state in the south of Han Dynasty, was naturally vast and sparsely populated. Nanyang County and Nanjun County in the north were relatively better, but the development degree of the four counties in Jingnan was far from enough. Duliang county was not the seat of the county, and naturally it was sparsely populated.

After Huang Zhong led the soldiers into the city, there was still no movement in the city. After searching the city with his troops and horses, he still didn't find anything. Finally, he had to kill out of the city with a lot of doubts.

"Brother Hansheng! Did you find anything in the city? "

Huang Zhong just led two thousand sharp soldiers to kill them. He found that Liu Pan had arrived with the following reinforcements, and asked Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong shook his head: "no, Zhou Yu seems to have really emptied all the troops, horses and supplies in Duliang City, and then fled."

"Oh? Ha ha ha

Liu Pan couldn't help laughing at the speech: "I was just a coward and a mouse when I was the hero of Zhou Yu."

"Have you heard me? This is Zhou Yu's child. Hahaha"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing Liu Pan's words, many Wuling soldiers couldn't help laughing, but Huang Zhong was still cautious.

"Public power, Zhou Yu may want to strengthen the wall and clear the field, collect troops and horses, grain and grass, and then choose Jiancheng to resist our army." Huang Zhong said: "the army he led was obviously up and down with 10000 people, which was comparable to that of our army, but he took the initiative to withdraw all the left behind soldiers, horses and supplies. I'm afraid that's why."

Liu Pan said with a smile: "what are you afraid of? Zhou Yu took the initiative to avoid our army. It can be seen that his spirit has been broken. Our army is pressing forward step by step, forcing the enemy to retreat, and then let them fight with our army? If Zhou Yu avoided fighting and retreated all the way to Guiyang, our army would be bloodless. Would it not be nice to take Lingling and join commander Gao in Guiyang County? "

Although Huang Zhong felt that it was not so simple, he also felt that Liu Pan had something to say, so he nodded: "well, as long as our army is stable and steady, I believe that the enemy can do nothing for our army."

In fact, before the battle of Chibi burned down the chain ships and defeated Cao Cao, Zhou Yu's popularity was far from that high. Therefore, it is understandable that Liu Pan did not attach importance to Zhou Yu. On the contrary, Liu Pan paid more attention not to Zhou Yu, but to general Tai Shici of Jiangdong army, because sun CE once appointed Tai Shici as Jianchang Duwei to compete with Liu Pan.

Therefore, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong took a short rest in Duliang City, and left 300 soldiers and horses to guard the city and serve as a transportation place for grain and grass. Then they led the nearly 12000 Wuling army to March eastward and March in the direction of Fu Yi. Liu Pan was eager to fight Zhou Yu's main force.
